Abstract
In 2011, archaeological fieldwork was resumed at the votive zone adjacent to the main temple of Osiris at Abydos. The article focuses on new discoveries at the zone, such as a monumental structure indicating the state’s involvement in the development of the zone, and evidence for the use of a Middle Kingdom offering chapel until more than 1500 years after its erection. The article also highlights remarkable artifacts recovered – the remains of a wooden figure of a hawk’s head that likely formed the aegis of a barque-shrine, and a rare example of a royal wooden statue that may depict Hatshepsut – and discusses the ceremonial landscape and its cultural significance..
